Perfect Basics - Number 2

Here's the second edition of Perfect Basics! Today I'm going with a "classic" (*see below) item that many women lust over: The Black Christian Louboutin pump! There are many different styles of these so whenever I save up all the money for these babies I'll have to go to a store and try them all on to see what looks best. But just looking online I have fallen in love with these Leather Platform Pumps, they are just PERFECT! The price on the other hand, at $795, is not so perfect. *sigh*

I'm not sure I'm quite ready to drop this much money on a pair of shoes yet, but they will last a long time and they are timeless so I can wear them until I am an old woman (except they are a bit tall so I'm not sure about that...I could get the non-platform version though). These are definitely going to have to be on a MAJOR sale before I buy them, but a girl can dream.

But on the other hand, I could settle for these gorgeous Miu Mius that are $200 less, but in this case I think I may want to spend the extra for the Louies. I can get something else Miu Miu ;)

*UPDATE: I should note that when I do these perfect basics posts they are more specified towards me and what I tend to wear. Your basics may be totally different than mine, and that's what is so great about fashion! :D P.S. Check out this article on "Classics" That Emily sent me ;)

Haha, you know how I feel about basics... I'd rather have my green sneakers. Seriously, I would not get anything with that tall a platform and expect it to be in style forever. That's a look I very much associate with here and now...

Actually, here's an interesting article I read about "the basics." ; )

Even though they are classics, I don't think I'd want to spend that much money on a plain black pump - somehow spending the extra coin would seem more merited on something that felt really unique. Of course, I haven't tried them on. I have this belief that an $800 shoe would be the most comfortable shoe in the universe and no wonder they cost so much because you could practically sleep in them.

I used to think someday I'd buy a pair. Now I'm not so sure. It just seems like such a waste, no matter how much money I will eventually be making (which will be tons, of course!). ;) I do think I'd buy them if they were in the $500 range, though (do the classics ever go on sale?).
